having lived here for a year

well the first time i went to the phils, i saw a 1ft lizard (tuko) run across the ceiling, misses told me it lives there

a year, what did you do, just chill out

i wished i had done the same

i think they are called weavels ,, disgusting, i remember once going to help out at an orphanage and the milk powder was full of them, but the babies had to drink the milk, and they were just left at the bottom of the bottles, disgusting

i think your nearly right

but checking the web, i think they are weevils




Female grain weevils lay from 36 to 254 eggs at a rate of 2-3 a day. At 80 to 86°F, 75 to 90% relative humidity, eggs hatch in wheat with a moisture content of 13.5 to 19.6% in 3 days. Larvae mature in 18 days, and the pupa in 6 days. The life cycle is about 30 to 40 days during the summer, and 123 to 148 days during the winter, depending on temperature. Adults live 7 to 8 months. Female rice weevils lay between 300 to 400 eggs, with the life cycle requiring about 32 days for completion. Rice weevil adults live 3 to 6 months, infesting grain in the field, especially in the tropics and sub-tropics, in fact it is one of the most serious pests. Two larvae can develop in one wheat kernel, but only one larva of the granary weevil can develop per wheat kernel. Both granary and rice weevils feign death by drawing up their legs close to the body, falling, and remaining silent when disturbed.

Seriously Joe?

I could not live without rice!

The only problem with our place in the phils is a drain in the kitchen area, we have a metal plate that sits on top of it, if we lift the plate it's like those things in the "Mummy" movie yuck, they pour out in a torrent, it's fun bygone'ing them though
